Chapter 18 Distribution Issues

 With the exciting antagonist scenes in the front, the final scene seemed a bit bland.

At the end of the movie A Study in Scarlet, there is a sentence from Shakoff played by Zhu Yongteng: Increase the surveillance level of the two of them, Sherlock and Watson!

From Moarty's foreshadowing to Shakoff's words, Lin Shu is already laying the groundwork for the sequel.

After the final scene, Lin Shu walked to the monitor as usual and watched back the last scene. Lin Shu recreated the entire Study in Scarlet exactly as he remembered it, and the result of this was

Improved shooting efficiency, almost no shot is wasted.

After confirming that there was no problem with the last shot, Lin Shu solemnly announced to everyone on the crew: "Everyone will be at the Hilton Hotel at 10 o'clock tonight!"

"Okay!" "Thank you, director!" "Bah bang bang!"

Everyone responded one after another and took the initiative to applaud after speaking.

The applause only lasted for more than ten seconds before it was forced to stop. It was now 7 o'clock in the evening, and the last scene was also shot on location. Dozens of people applauded together, which was enough to disturb the residents in downtown Shanghai.<

/p>

After calming down, Lin Shu directed the staff behind the scenes to put away the filming tools and return them to the studio. Then he asked the other actors to remove their makeup first, and then he took them to the hotel for dinner.

After everyone dispersed one by one, Lin Shu squatted down weakly. During this period, he was under great mental pressure. Now that he has finished shooting the movie, he feels a little more relaxed.

"Hey, I just wanted to congratulate the great director on his success, but why did you thank me before I even said it?"

"Whether I can succeed or not will be left to the market to test, but I still need this thank you. After all, Teacher Zhu has helped me a lot!"

Lin Shu didn't know what Zhu Yongteng's purpose was for coming to him. He stood up with his knees in hand and didn't ask any questions, just looking at him.

Zhu Yongteng felt a little unnaturally stared at by him. He touched his chin and said to Lin Shu: "Ahem, I mean, brother Lin, we have cooperated for once. Can you tell me about the relationship between Huantu Film and Television and

What is your relationship?"

"It doesn't matter at the moment, but it won't matter in the future. Teacher Zhu, why are you suddenly so concerned about my affairs?"

"Look at what you said, I just saw you working hard to make the movie, and I was afraid that you would be deceived by the producer and not be able to get the maximum rights for yourself..."

At this point, Lin Shu could probably guess a little bit of Zhu Yongteng's thoughts. In order to come up with more words, he turned directly to the recorder to find his briefcase, took out a copy of the project from it, and gave it to Zhu Yongteng.

Passed it over.

"What is this? A Study in Scarlet movie project book, producer, Lin Shu's personal film and television studio! You are the producer, so what does Huantu mean? It's obviously the audition invitation he sent us!"

"This film was originally an experimental film that I wanted to make after graduation. The filming funds were provided by my father. In order to be able to shoot smoothly, of course I had to set up a company. Otherwise, how could I apply for a filming permit?"

Lin Shu's personal studio was set up by Lin Shaoan for him when he graduated from college. This operation really saved Lin Shu a lot of work, otherwise he would have had many more difficulties making movies than he does now.

"Co-author, you are still a rich second generation? Then you have nothing to do with Huantu. Why is Huantu willing to help you?"

Faced with Zhu Yongteng's question, Lin Shu just smiled "haha" and said, "Teacher Zhu, you are a little too concerned about me. My relationship with Huantu probably has little to do with you, and I have already paid your salary."

I gave it."

Looking at Lin Shu's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Zhu Yongteng knew that the other party had probably guessed his purpose, and he couldn't hide it anymore.

"Oh~, you should have guessed what I mean, so let's stop being careless. I'll tell you frankly, I think your movie is good, and I want to introduce you to Huayi Brothers Film Distribution

Department, what do you think?"

This is really the case! When Zhu Yongteng mentioned the producer just now, Lin Shu thought that he might be talking to him about the distribution of the film.

You must know that every distribution company is actually short of good movies, otherwise they would not spend their own money to make movies and distribute them.

This movie made by Lin Shu is undoubtedly a masterpiece in Zhu Yongteng's eyes. If he recommends it to Huayi, he will have a share of the credit if it becomes a hit at the box office in the future.

To take a step back, even if it doesn't sell well at the box office, this movie is still his big-screen work! Zhu Yongteng played the third male lead in it. This extra exposure is for him, an actor who is on the decline.

So important.

"I would like to thank Teacher Zhu again for his help, but now I want to finish the post-production work first. Regarding distribution, I haven't decided which company to find yet. If it is convenient, please leave me a Huayi Distribution

Please call the department manager."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yongteng had a slight hesitation on his face, but finally left a phone number for Lin Shu. The two chatted for a few more unrelated topics, and then Zhu Yongteng left early on the pretext that he wanted to go home to be with his wife.

……

Inside the Hilton Hotel, including the staff and the actors with lines, the crew of Study in Scarlet has a total of nearly 30 people. Today they all have a common goal, to get Lin Shu drunk!

Over the past twenty days, Lin Shu has successfully conveyed high standards to everyone. Among them, the props team was scolded by Lin Shu for an hour because the interior of 221B Baker Street was poorly designed and shoddy.

Not to mention other things like photography and lighting that work every day. No one really can make a mistake. If you dare to make a mistake, he will dare to leave you alone to talk.

As for the actors, let’s not talk about Wang Kai, who was NGed twelve times. Except for Wu Yanshu, everyone else was mentally oppressed by Lin Shu.

The main reason why they have no complaints is because Lin Shu's high standards are consistent, and he always has the highest standards for himself. Because of this, everyone in the crew is convinced of him in their hearts.

However, I am still convinced, and I still have to drink one glass of wine. Now that the work is over, everyone has no other estimates.

One glass after another, Lin Shu was willing to accept anyone who wanted to drink. After everyone had walked around, he had time to rest for a while. Fortunately, he used a small cup for the toast, so this circle was quite impressive.

I really can’t leave.

Most of the 1,000W of filming funds have been spent now, and he still needs to find an editor and soundtrack for the remaining money.

Although the situation was tight, he never thought about saving the money for the wedding banquet. Because once he saved it, he would always have a stingy joke in his career.

After thinking for a while, Lin Shu began to think about the release of the movie in his mind. However, his thoughts did not last long before he was interrupted by someone who came to toast. It seemed that he couldn't think about work tonight.
Chapter completed!
